Taylor Swift Decided at the Last-Minute to Perform

Swift revealed she wasn't planning to sing at the show and explained to fans how it came to fruition.

"See, the one thing tight ends have in common with Nashville musicians is we're all friends, right? So you know, we're up there, having some drinks, and we were thinking like, 'How loud could this place get? Theoretically, how loud could the singing be in here?'" she spilled. "I was like, 'I don't have a guitar,' and then Chase Rice was like, 'You can use mine,' so we would like to dedicate this to our favorite players."

The couple is currently living in Florida as Kelce's training camp kicks off.

As OK! reported, the lovebirds are on cloud nine now that they have more free time to spend together.

"It's been a dream period that's only solidified that they're on the same page about their future. Taylor and Travis' time out of the limelight has given them a taste of what life will be like when they're married, not promoting anything, and not on anyone's radar," an insider told a news outlet. "They already knew how compatible they were, but this break away from everything has allowed them to grow closer and be even more certain."
